The Ribbons Sweater ~Mini~

The Ribbons Sweater Mini is a charming, seamless knit sweater that is constructed from the top down. Short rows are used to shape the upper back, and the colorful rows are knit directly into the yoke which add a playful and festive touch that creates the sweater’s signature look. It has a slightly looser fit of 4-6” 10-15cm of positive ease so your little one can grow into their sweater. The model in the picture is wearing a size 10 and has a chest circumference of 28” 71cm.
